Cyanotype Workshop

Sunday, December 15, 2024

1 :00pm-3:00pm

Looking to learn something fun with plant cuttings and even your yard trash?

Join me for a Cyanotype Class!

Cyanotype is an alternative photography method that uses the light of the sun to produce a blue and white image. These images are archival, and suitable for framing. Best of all they are easy and fun to do.

It is the perfect medium to create one-of-a-kind plant inspired art.

Join expert teacher Judy Pickett for a fun, casual, and relaxed two hours of group instruction with some one-on-one guidance in cyanotype printmaking. During this class, you will design and develop several cyanotype prints. Walk away from the event with 3-5 lovely prints suitable for framing.

Judy is a local artist who combines cyanotype printmaking with encaustic painting. As a former teacher, Judy loves to teach others about her unique medium. “When I was introduced to the alternative photography method, known as cyanotype, I was hooked! Cyanotype uses photosensitive paper to develop an image without a camera. It creates beautiful blue and white images by laying an object or a negative onto the paper and exposing it in the sun. It's magic! “

The class will include:

• 30-minute introduction learning about the history, and methods of this process.
• Approximate 1.5 hours of creating beautiful botanical prints
• All supplies
• Feel free to bring plant cutting and objects with unique shapes, instructor will provide many options as well.
